Coming out

[Calz2000]

Look I know i'm only 13, but i'm sure that i'm bisexual. Should I come out or what? Nobody in my school has come out as gay or bi yet..Help?:/

You should keep it to yourself for the time being. I have nothing against bi people, but sadly, there are people who are. People will judge you unless you are really close friends with them. Unfortunately, they might even say something. But yeah, I'd keep it to yourself for now.

Why does anyone ever have to come out as anything? Stop worrying about labels and trying to fit yourself in a box. Yes, you do know who you are and what you like more than anyone else, but you're still young. What if you come out as bi now, only to realize you are something else later on down the road? You'd have to repeat the entire process. You are...you, just you. And liking the people you like isn't going to change that in any way, and telling others what you like isn't going to change that. Just worry about being a 13 year old right now. If you meet a boy you like, cool. If you meet a girl you like, that's cool too. Just stop trying to put yourself in a box or label yourself. If you feel the need to come out, by all means come out, but you're still growing and changing.

I'm prob not the best person to give you advice on coming out since I came out as gay at 13. But, I have to agree with Bridgette.

While this all would be perfectly true if we lived in a perfect world, we are kind of forced to use labels. You can tell him that you don't need a label, which is true, but he will still have to come out. It's just how society made it work.

I would advise against coming out now, unless you have supportive friends and are confident in your decision.

I'm 13 too, I'm gay and i think about coming out everyday and thinking how much easier it would be. But the hard truth is there will always be people out there that wont accept the LGBT community, I think you should hold off coming out for another few years, so u know who exactly you are with more confidence of who you want to become . Don't rush things :) If u eva need to talk about anything, don't hesitate to ask, here to help :D

i came out at age 14, all my friends know, glad i did

[Cece14]

COME OUT! Your just bi.... its not that big of a deal......

[Hermes96]

come out to your parents first as you don't want them to find out from kids at school because that would just make things a whole lot worse. after you've spoken to them tell maybe 3 or 4 of your close friends that you know aren't homophobic

[jayyy-lmao]

Dude, I was in the exact same position a few months back.
If you're comfortable with being bi, then you should come out. Don't feel pressured, it isn't anyone else's business. If you're going to come out, tell close friends first, but tell them you want to come out, so it's not a secret. Tell someone who's a total gossip, they'll tell the world. Whatever you do, don't give in. People will always have problems with who you are, so just get over them. Respect your haters; they're only jealous.
